One more thing on multiple data album editing. When making a playlist, you cannot access previously made playlists. So when you want to make a playlist composed of data from other playlists, you’re out of luck. You would have to wade through all of that data again instead of having it conveniently organized into an album. So once again.

WE NEED MULTIPLE DATA ALBUM EDIT!!!

WE NEED MULTIPLE DATA ALBUM EDIT!!!

WE NEED MULTIPLE DATA ALBUM EDIT!!!

WE NEED MULTIPLE DATA ALBUM EDIT!!!

And so do you Anubis. Playlists are no substitute for an album since you can’t access a playlist when creating a new playlist.

Yes, this has been a good week. Life with Playstation, the Socom beta update to 1.30, a good PSN store update. A good Singstar Store Update…even a firmware update that maybe added or turned on some feature in GT5 prologue.

You’re absolutely right about the Sing Star comment. Sing Star DLC should be included in every Thursdays PSN Store update. My friends and I are big fans of that game. We have no way of knowing when there’s new songs unless we go and look for it.

Now I can try Mercenaries 2 for myself. Even though most likely I won’t buy it since there’s no Trophy support. I believe all current PS3 title should come with Trophies or patch once released. I want my full $60+tax worth!

@EvoAnubis
So with your approach it would be necessary to continuously edit playlists instead of just having one playlist to access. For example, let’s say I wanted to listen to one album, that would equate to one playlist. Then let’s say I wanted a playlist for a particular mood, let’s say a hyper, electronica kind of playlist. I would have to edit a playlist over and over again when I wanted to switch between the two lists. That sounds exceptionally cumbersome to me when you could just have albums you access and only need to create one playlist for one occasion that you access whenever you want. Like I said before, playlists are no substitute for albums since you can’t access an playlist when you want to create a playlist. So again:

Great news for people without the COD pack… those are good maps, and for $5, they’re a good deal.

I’ll definitely be picking up the demo, but I might have to pass on the Megadeth. I think the guitar heroics of Marty Friedman may just leave me frustrated, lol. I WILL say that I would’ve bought the “Rust In Peace” album regardless, though… a far better album, IMHO, and more impressive musicianship to boot.

Great update! i didnt post anything in the life with playstation so ill do here, there was someone saying that you should add your friend list on the globe to see where they are and i was like what a great idea..
You should add that in the next update
Thanks for the update and life with playstation

@EvoAnubis
Also let’s talk about those ps1 games. It sure would be convenient to be able to organize them from psn games and demos and add-ons. I know you could put them in different albums. But what if you have a lot of them on your hard drive, it sure would be a pain to change the album info on them individually. I know a feature called multiple data album edit should be created. If playlists can do everything albums can do, which they cannot, why have albums?

Can someone please tell me how I can fix this problem!
For a while now I’ve noticed that when my PS3 goes idle and F@H comes up it doesn’t seem connected and now the Life is out I can’t connect to the servers! Even though everything else works fine, I’m logged in to PSN and I play online games just fine, but when it comes to F@H and LifewithPS it stays logged off… wtf someone plz help! :(

Disgaea 3 we just got an rpg and got two more coming. Getting Valkyrie Chronicles as well then white knight chronicles and ES. Then Feb comes around and we get the ff13 demo which should be sexy along with Advent Children(Just a blu-ray not a game) complete.

@cell898
Most of the square games you listed have little to no chance of being released I think one or two are going to PSP. But you can always wish capcom and square would release them.

on a sad note my ps3 is off to repair red light flashes and I was just about to hit my 1600 work unit oh well maybe too much folding. No life with playstation well my friends showed it too me looks great other than the lack of a zoom feature.

Come on Sony you have to assume a lot of us have HDTVs and they are 37+ inches. Zoom feature with any type of reading should of been standard. Other than that got to see the VC trailer looks great.

Two shooter demos? How about more PSN content for those of us who are not “hardcore” gamers? How about more demos of E-rated games?

I bought the PS3 assuming it would have similar games as the PS2 (games like Sly Cooper and SSX Tricky). Instead, the PS3 is becoming a clone of the Xbox with its focus on “hardcore” games, and it’s frustrating.

I’m sure most people here are “hardcore” gamers and appreciate the shooter games, but not all of us are.

Where is the much needed demo for Unreal Tournament 3? Also, the Japanese Playstation Store has a new game video of Unreal Tournament 3. Can you please have it translated into English & put it up on the US Playstation Store?

Nice update over. But I’m curious about who to blame about the US PS3 SC4 not being patched. Is it held up in certification purgatory? Japanese PS3 SC4 got a balance patch about a week ago. I believe the US 360 SC4 got it yesterday. Yet here I am waiting.

All this content is great; But it would be really great if Sony could come thru on some promises….I mean I’ve owned two PS1’s; a PS2; I still own PSP and PS3….I bought my psp-1001 for a promised launch title of GT4 Mobile…Can you say Vapor Ware? Then I bought my ps3….Home was announced March 07 i think, its been delayed how many times now? PSN Cards…..how long you guys been talking about them? I dont have a credit card; I would love to blow random cash on PSN but I can’t. Life with playstation… Delayed… Launched by accident… pulled why not just let it go live? This is frustrating us. Could you guys possibly start making some realistic launch schedules; or just stop telling us about things until they are actually ready?
